Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that "intraspecific taxa for Iris tenax not recognized in Flora North America."

Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that Iris tenax was published by John Lindley in Edward's Botanical Register 15:t. 1218 (1829), and that Lindley ascribed the name but not the description to Douglas, so that the correct author citation is Douglas ex Lindl.
